How to Clean Toaster Oven Glass

December 5, 2022

To clean a toaster oven’s glass, you will need to first turn off the appliance and unplug it from the wall. Then, spray an all-purpose cleaner onto the glass and use a soft cloth to wipe it down. To remove stubborn grime or grease, sprinkle baking soda over the surface of the glass and scrub gently with a damp sponge. Finally, rinse off the baking soda and all-purpose cleaner with a soft cloth and warm water. With these five steps, you can easily keep your toaster oven’s glass sparkling clean. We have broken the steps down a little further below for ease of reference. 

1. Unplug the toaster oven

Before beginning any cleaning process, it is important to ensure that the appliance is turned off and unplugged from the wall. This will help avoid any shocks or injuries while you are cleaning. It sounds like an obvious step, but it is astounding to hear how many people are injured or even killed by electric shocks each year in their homes. 

2. Empty the crumb tray

The crumb tray of your toaster oven can become full of grease, grime, and food particles. Empty out the crumb tray to ensure thorough cleaning of your toaster oven glass. The crumb tray can also become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, so be sure to wash it out thoroughly before returning it to the toaster oven.

3. Gather appropriate supplies

You will need a soft cloth, sponge, all-purpose cleaner, warm water, and baking soda for this task. Make sure you have these items ready before you begin cleaning. It’s like the old boy scout motto: “Be Prepared”. It just makes the task more manageable if you have everything on hand at the start. 

4. Wipe down the glass 

Spray an all-purpose cleaner onto the glass and use a soft cloth to wipe it down. You can also sprinkle baking soda over the surface of the glass, scrub gently with a damp sponge, and rinse off the baking soda and all-purpose cleaner with a soft cloth and warm water.

5. Allow to air dry

Once all the glass surfaces have been wiped down, allow them to air dry or use a clean cloth to wipe off any extra moisture. This will help prevent streaks and spots on the oven glass when it is next used. Allowing the glass to air dry will actually provide the best result, but if you want to finish more quickly, wiping it off with a clean cloth can ensure it is ready for use again when you need it. 

When your toaster oven’s glass is sparkling clean, it will be ready for you to fire up and enjoy your favorite snacks and meals. Plus, the satisfaction of a job well done can make your kitchen look even brighter. It is always a great feeling to cook in a clean kitchen, so the effort is well worth it. Grab your supplies and get cleaning – you’ll be glad you did!
